{inspired} summer color palettes

Earlier this year, I did a post about spring color palettes where I found spring clothing I loved and paired it with a room in a similar color scheme. I loved this post because I fall into color ruts incredibly easy. It was fun to see both clothes and rooms that are a little out of my comfort zone. So, I thought I'd do a summer palette post. Now, I know you're thinking .... Jenn, summer began a couple months ago. BUT, in my defense, summer in Oregon doesn't begin until July, so I'm right on time :).

Palette #1

Similar to my post last week about my navy/coral adventures, aqua and orange are just lovely. Oh, and I'm completely coveting this dress.

These fun, almost pastel colors are ground by the deep royal purple. I had a little trouble finding this color in a room, which is unfortunate because it really is lovely, but I do love the limited use of purple below. It adds a nice pop of color.

I love this palette. It's so feminine and pretty, but the red adds a dash of spicy. Tread lightly around this color scheme. It can be a little overwhelming and a little red hat society. The room below is a lovely example of how small doses of red and purple can brighten up a room.
